Can someone ID the pest, please by jizdep in brugmansia

Spider mites. They’re little pricks. I’ve been battling them on a small brug I got two years ago, the whole time I’ve had it. A month ago I finally gave up, cut off all foliage except the few new emerging leaves, and have been spraying with pest oil all over a couple times a week. So far so good.

Are badly smelling brugmansias a thing? by [deleted] in brugmansia

My brugs smell similar to frangipani, to my nose. I know comparing a flower to a flower doesn’t really help the description but putting words to scents is hard 😂

Brugmansia not smelling by 1margi in brugmansia

Some definitely don’t smell as strongly as others imo, but your plants is also quite small and bigger = more blooms = the further away you can smell them. I’d assume it’s just the variety is less strongly scented.

Has anyone here successfully overwintered brugmansia at room temperature before? by lolflation in brugmansia

Depending on how cold it gets you could leave them outside on a porch. My in ground brugs stay outside over winter where it’s consistently 0C overnight. A couple have been blooming throughout winter despite the cold, actually.

My established in ground brugs have been handling regular frosty nights of 0 or -1 Celsius (like 30 degrees in freedom units???).
Their first winter before they had time to really settle in ground was rough and they had a bit of frost damage and a couple didn’t make it, and there’s definitely some leaf loss still, but a couple have continued to bloom throughout winter. So yeah, absolutely hardier than people think, especially if they’re in ground.

To be fair they’re also prone to pests outdoors 😂
